H. R. II. THE PRIECE OF WALES’ SHOOTS. 
697 
I am very much indebted to different members of H. R. H. the Prince of 
W ales’ staff whose names appear in my notes and to all who took part in the 
shoots for the help and encouragement they have given me in compiling these 
records, especially to Sir Geoflrej' de Montmorency, who most kindly read 
through the final proofs for me. The authorities in Nepal, in particular 
General Kaiser Shumsher Jung Bahadur and Col. O’Connor, also helped me very 
much, and it is through the kindness of Col. Samar Shumsher, a nephew of the 
Maharaja, that some of the photos are published. But most of all I am grateful 
to Col. Burton, a big game hunter of great experience with whom readers of the 
Journal are familiar for his valuable advice and criticism, and my colleague Mr. 
Prater, who with his ever ready good nature, and his great experience, gave me 
most valuable assistance both as regards the editing and final arrangement, and 
the selection of material from a mass of rough field notes. I regret that 
exigencies of space, and the not-to-be-forgotten question of expense, has 
prevented me from publishing a large number of illustrations of the Nepal 
shoot (and other shoots mentioned in the narrative), from the photographic 
records in my possession. 
In a future number of the Journal will appear a report drawn up by Messrs. 
Hinton and T. B. Fry of the British Museum regarding recent Natural History 
collecting in Nepal. This collecting work was conducted by Lt.-Col. R, L. 
Kennion with the assistance of the Society’s collector N. A. Baptista, and 
the report deals with the physical configuration of Nepal, so that in this 
article I have not dealt further in the matter of describing the country.
